DPJ - Keep saying that "We will stop the practice of Amakudari"

So now the new president and 2 deputy presidents are all going to be ex-bureaucrats. Well stopped.

My wife and son were vaccinated last week and the local children's clinic has been doing vaccinations for a couple of weeks. Talking to other parents of infants at work it is the same where they live (Tokyo / Yokohama area).

My only question is what is a "group infection" and how is it different from a normal infection?

One guy in our office took just over 3 hours from Shinagawa to Kanda (would have been faster to walk).

Safety is always going to be an issue here.

memyselfi, if the only problem with "environment friendly" is destroying yoyogi park to make it an olympic village, as you indicate, I can assure you the Tokyo bid is then "environment friendly". The olympic village is not panned for Yoyogi park and never was. Yoyogi park was one site considered…

Why all the negativity tkoind2? What parkland is going to be lost? If you are still talking about Yoyogi park, that was one of four sites that was considered for the main stadium and it is not the selected site.
